Bonus shares are extra shares issued by a company to its existing shareholders at no additional cost. These shares are typically distributed from the company’s accumulated profits or reserves, aiming to enhance liquidity and reward shareholders by increasing their overall holdings.
For example, in a 2:1 bonus issue, investors receive two additional shares for every share they already own. So, if an investor holds 100 shares, they will get 200 more, bringing their total to 300 shares.
